Public Records in Arizona

Arizona public records are governed by the Arizona Public Records Law, which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Arizona maintains extensive public databases across its 15 counties. Arizona is known for broad public access — most court records are searchable online via the Arizona Judicial Branch portal, and county recorders publish deed and lien indexes. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Arizona public records.

What you can find
  • Property and real estate records
  • Court records (civil, criminal, and probate)
  • Business filings and corporate registrations
  • Vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce)
  • UCC liens and secured filings
  • Professional licenses and notary commissions
How to access Arizona public records

Most Arizona public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Arizona State Library and Archives and the Arizona Department of Health Services, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Arizona Public Records Law — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.

Pro tip
Always search both the debtor's legal name AND any trade names or DBAs. Lenders file under the exact legal entity name — a single spelling difference means you could miss an active lien entirely.
